Win-Win trades to exist.
I find the argument of the bargaining position rather one more argument against the EU. Their value proposition is "if you join us, we won't break your neck with trading"? Doesn't sound like the paragon of the free world they would like to be seen as.
If people don't want your stuff, trade agreements won't save you. If they want your stuff, they'll find ways to trade with you.
- jsiepkes 7y agoWho says anything about as extreme as a trade war? Its simply a matter of what you bring to the table and what that is worth to the other party. If you disagree on that value that doesn't make it a trade war.
